Reviews of Amir show a mixed picture: many diners praise fresh ingredients, flavorful shawarma especially the chicken, generous garlic sauce, clean dining spaces, and reliable delivery, with drive through convenience and generally friendly or efficient service noted at times. However, other feedback describes a decline in quality and portions over the years, citing shrinkflation, less robust flavor, and a sense that staff do not listen or seem to care about customers. Some longtime patrons still report delicious meals and ample portions, while others say the restaurant is not the same and express willingness not to return if the trend continues. A few comments highlight standout dishes like shish taouk and chicken shawarma, and positive remarks about service when it is working well. There are mentions of inconsistent experiences, with some staff being hurried or less friendly during busy periods, and at least one note about dirty restrooms. Overall, there is substantial variation in sentiment among regulars, with strong praise for freshness and taste from some and notable dissatisfaction with quality and service from others, leaving Amir with a reputation that depends on when and where one visits.
Ordered for delivery. Food was fresh. Potato's was real good. Generous with garlic sauce. Only complaint would be portion size. I feel shrinkflation has hit over the years.
Terrible service I came in not feeling so well but ready to purchase food & the man refused me to use the washroom they're not so nice & the food isn't so good either not nice people go somewhere else
Customer service really bad. It felt like the guy was doing me a favor instead of actually serving me he didn't ask what I wanted in my shawarma & just made the plate without saying anything
First & last time never again
I ordered the shish taouk pita plate 2 times, & got hot peppers, turnips, & tomatoes when I specifically said NO to all of them. Do not order from this Amir through Uber, they do not listen.
I ordered a shawarma plate with potatoes & rice through Uber Eats, & what I received was unacceptable. The portion was extremely small, the presentation was terrible, & it looked nothing like what Amir shows on their menu. I also added a clear note asking for extra fries, but the request was completely ignored.
The way the food was served completely killed my appetite, & on top of that, I didn't even get a refund.
Very disappointing & far from the quality I expected.

I used to be a fan of this Amir but its not good anymore unfortunately. The chicken isnt that great but I will however keep purchasing the Amir Garlic Sauce at the grocery store. Amazing sauce! Wish the food was better.
I have been a customer of this restaurant for over five years. In the past, the food was excellent & the customer service was outstanding. My whole family used to order from here regularly because we trusted their quality.
But things have changed completely. The food quality has dropped a lot - the taste is almost bad now, & the quantity is not the same as before. The customer service has become very poor. They don't ask what we want, they don't listen, & it feels like they don't care about their customers at all.
After everything, the way they treat us now is very disappointing. If they continue like this, we will not return. I hope they seriously improve their service & food, because this is not the restaurant it used to be.
One of the best Amir's in Montreal honestly. Shish taouk is always very saucy & ingredients are fresh. Place itself isn't the newest but never feels dirty. Has a drive through which is unusual for an amir but can be convenient
